Balakrishna’s ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ Gains International Spotlight via Iraqi Media

The film “Daaku Maharaaj”, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead role, has once again made headlines. Released as a Sankranti festive offering earlier this year, the movie achieved commercial success at the box office. Recently, it garnered international attention after a prominent Arabic-language newspaper from Iraq published a special article on the film.

According to the Iraqi newspaper’s feature, “Daaku Maharaaj” was lauded for its high-end technology and action sequences. The article described Balakrishna’s lead role as exceptionally powerful, comparing the character to a Robin Hood figure who stands as a protector of the poor. The piece also highlighted the storyline and detailed the box office collections achieved by the film.

The publication of this article in an Iraqi newspaper has brought joy to Balakrishna’s fans, especially since it is rare for Telugu cinema features to appear in Arabic-language media. Fans have been expressing their happiness on social media platforms, particularly sharing images of the article on ‘X’ (formerly Twitter).

Directed by Bobby, “Daaku Maharaaj” features Balakrishna alongside Pragya Jaiswal and Shraddha Srinath. Urvashi Rautela appears in a special song, while Bollywood actor Bobby Deol plays the antagonist. The film performed well in theatres and later received positive reception on the OTT platform Netflix. Following its release, the film remained trending for several days on the platform and continues to stream on Netflix.
